As journalists and as researchers, the Knight Center’s faculty and students keep up with, report about and study the latest environmental developments. Although we’re based here at Michigan State’s School of Journalism, our scope and interests go far beyond Michigan with a particular emphasis on the Great Lakes region.
We’re also international in scope and not just about Canada. For example, our faculty and grad students are conducting research projects and training professional journalists in Latin America, China and Central Asia.
Environmental issues in our region reflect national concerns.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Office of Research and Development has just released a list of 10 of the most-read stories in its Science Matters newsletter in 2024. Last year, our Great Lakes Echo environmental news service reported on a majority of those same topics for our readers.
